      ab: Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between Internet addiction (IA), psychological distress, and coping strategies. Methods: Data were collected using a convenience sample of 163 student nurses. Findings: The results showed that there was high prevalence rate of IA among students. In addition, the use of avoidance and problem‐solving coping mechanism was statistically significant among the IA group compared with the non‐IA group (P <.05). This was associated with a more negative impact on psychological distress and self‐efficacy (P <.05). Conclusions: IA is an increasing problem in the general population and among university students. It can affect many aspects of a student life. Practical Implications: The results will raise awareness of the deleterious effects of IA on a wide range of student life.
